AI makes biologic discovery easy. Development is faster and cheaper in China So the obvious play is "make fast followers with AI and do all the development in China" This is that play. It's a $787 M bet that “China + AI” is the future of biopharma prnewswire.com/news-releases/…

This makes me realize that I use this app much differently than most people I think I'm a lot happier than the typical X user too so I'll share my trick If an account posts or reposts articles that are not worth reading the whole thing, I simply don't follow them at all

The coming wave of AI lab assistants will allow biologists to "talk" their cell culture experiments but unfortunately you're going to hate it

@SynBio1 Yes, but not because of what you think is the cause. It will be because humans like you become completely irrelevant.

@heuristics I love it when math makes useful predictions that matter to people, even if those predictions don’t have “actual explanations” behind them The problem I’m trying to articulate is that AI can generate infinite predictions that will never be noticed or matter in any way

@SynBio1 it's a weird thing, natural science has more and more abandoned having actual explanations and are gravitating towards simply having math that makes predictions. Without any reasons for why it is like so.

@SynBio1 If your goal in life is to have people care about you, you will die very alone

@SynBio1 If one is found that has equal explanatory power but is metaphysically simpler, it’s a good thing, no?

@SynBio1 "This is the core problem of the next 5 years in the AI scientist era: infinite hypotheses about which nobody cares" That sounds like a great hypothesis! Did you find out if anybody cares?
